ABSTRACT
The economy of South Africa is the second-largest in Africa, behind Nigeria. It is ranked as an upper-middle-income economy by the World Bank.
South Africa’s growth experience provides an example of how contrasting growth trends - long-term decline followed by improved growth - pivot around political change, in this case a transition to democracy. In the decade prior to 1994, South Africa experienced the worst period of economic growth since the end of the Second World War, with growth variable and declining. The proximate causes of slowing growth were trade and financial sanctions in opposition to the Apartheid government, political instability and macroeconomic policy decisions that resulted in higher inflation, increased uncertainty and declining investment.
In the post-apartheid period, political and economic leadership have been essential to improving the country’s growth performance, because of the effect on policy formulation, institutional development, regulatory design, and economic vision.
This research project provides some insight into the challenges faced by the South African Economy such as high levels of unemployment, income inequality, growing public debt, political mismanagement, low levels of education, reliable access to amenities, and crime.
When it comes to business, considering other countries’ culture and values are essential. How does one introduce a consumer product into a foreign market? Our group created marketing plan to do just that: Tide Detergent for successful introduction into Brazil. We first started with a detailed cultural analysis, such as living conditions, language, religion, and family values; and economic analysis, such as income, population, and infrastructure; to understand Brazil as a country. We then developed a competitive market analysis, including distribution channels, and product adaptation along with the preliminary marketing plan. This marketing plan explained in detail how we would introduce Tide in Brazil.

Africa has infinite potential. With numerous resources, an improving business climate and better economic governance, the numbers showing growth have been very positive. This presentation covers topics that speak on Africa's growth and where it can go. Here's a few stats that show how well the continent is doing:
A report from the African development bank said 33% of Africa's countries have GDP growth rates higher than 6%.
The costs of starting a business dropped upwards of 66% over the last 7 years.
The continent's middle class is growing at a very quick rate - approximately 350 million Africans now earn between $2 and $20 a day.
The share of the population living below the poverty line in Africa has dropped from 51% in 2005 to 39% in 2012.
Africa's collective GDP was $1.6 trillion in 2008, which was roughly equal to Brazil and Russia's GDP.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

2. Basic audience
• My basic audience will be the investors from
countries whose experience saturation in its
markets.
• Today there are many markets matured with
low growth tax and great competition. These
new companies must be interested in develop
new investments for markets with high growth
and low competition.
3. Ivory Coast
Ivory Coast achieved independence in 1960,
led by Félix Houphouët-Boigny, who ruled
the country until 1993. The country
maintained close political and economic
association with its West African neighbors
while at the same time maintaining close
ties to the West, especially France. Since the
end of Houphouët-Boigny's rule in 1993,
Ivory Coast has experienced one coup d'état,
in 1999, and two religion-grounded civil
wars. The first took place between 2002 and
2007[11] and the second during 2010-2011.
As a result, in 2000, the country adopted a
new Constitution
4. Foreign relations
• In Africa, Ivorian diplomacy favors step-by-step economic and political cooperation. In 1959, Ivory Coast formed
the Council of the Entente with Dahomey (Benin), Upper Volta (Burkina Faso), Niger and Togo; in 1965, the African
and Malagasy Common Organization (OCAM); in 1972, the Economic Community of West Africa (CEAO). The last
mentioned organisation changing to the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) in 1975. A
founding member of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) in 1963 and then of the African Union in 2000, Ivory
Coast defends respect for state sovereignty and peaceful cooperation between African countries. Worldwide,
Ivorian diplomacy is committed to fair economic and trade relations, including the fair the trade of agricultural
products and the promotion of peaceful relations with all countries. Ivory Coast thus maintains diplomatic
relations with international organizations and countries all around the world. In particular, it has signed United
Nations treaties such as the Convention relating to the Status of Refugees, the 1967 Protocol, and the 1969
Convention Governing Specific Aspects of Refugee Problems in Africa. Ivory Coast maintains diplomatic relations
with countries all around the world, and is a member of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, African Union, La
Francophonie, Latin Union, Economic Community of West African States and South Atlantic Peace and
Cooperation Zone.
• Ivory Coast have also partnered with various nations within the Sub-Saharan region in strengthening water and
sanitation infrastructure. This has been done mainly with the help of organizations such as UNICEF and Nestle.[65]
• In 2015, the United Nations engineered the Sustainable Development Goals, replacing the Millennium
Development Goals. The goals focus on health, education, poverty, hunger, climate change, water sanitation, and
hygiene. A major focus was clean water and salinisation. Experts working on this field have designed the WASH
concept. WASH focuses on safe drinkable water, hygiene, and proper sanitation. The group has had a major impact
on the sub-Saharan region of Africa, particularly the Ivory Coast. By 2030, they plan to have universal and equal
access to safe and affordable drinking water.[66]

5. The great recent growth
• (CNN)Following many years of political turmoil and civil conflict,
business is back - and booming - in the Ivory Coast.
• This prosperous West African country is Africa's fastest growing
economy in 2016, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
The country's phenomenal growth rate of 8.5 percent greatly contrasts
with the rest of sub-Saharan Africa which has only seen three percent
growth.
• But not every Ivorian is reaping the rewards. While the economy
powers ahead, many citizens have been left behind, with the World
Bank estimating that nearly half of the population still lives in poverty.
• Despite the reality for many on the ground, the IMF predicts the
country's GDP will increase by an average of 7.4 percent between 2017
and 2020.

8. Booming economy
• The economy is booming – growth is estimated at 9% for 2015 –
and foreign money can be seen in the new malls and hotels
springing up in the economic capital, Abidjan. Ouattara, a former
official at the International Monetary Fund (IMF), has spent billions
of dollarsrebuilding roads and railways.
• “There is a new vibe, you have a middle class that is gradually
emerging … We have invested a lot in infrastructure,” says Cissé
during a trip to London. He added that a return to violence was
simply not an option. “Ivorians know what the price of peace is.
They went through big issues when we had the trouble in 2010. No
one wants to go there again … Every Ivorian wants their kids to go
to school.
